Benefits of using the internal rescue image
Benefits of using the internal rescue image include:
• When managing your Email and Web Security Appliances, having the image for each appliance
stored on a protected partition on the hard disk or USB drive for each appliance enables you to
remotely reimage your appliances without needing to locate a CD containing the correct version of
the software.
• The rescue image negates the requirement for remote access cards to be fitted to your appliance
(if you have suitable appliance models) in order for the appliances to be reimaged from a remote
location.
• By creating a library of stored rescue images on your local network or on a local FTP or HTTP
server, you can use the rescue images to roll back your appliance to a previous .iso release of the
software, or to upgrade to a newer version. You do this by importing the required image to the
rescue partition on your appliance and then forcing your appliance to boot from the newly imported
rescue image using the
Perform a full installation overwriting existing data
option. To roll back, you need to
use the option 2 or 3 settings; to upgrade you need to use option 2, 3 or 4 settings.
